DISTANCE
It’s quite a distance
from the edge of a branch
to the edge of the moon -
as the branch tries to scratch
the moon’s hard rock back
and accept that it has craters.
It’s quite a distance
from the edge of now
to the edge of my body
in my casket box - but
touch my hand and say, “Hi!”
and hear me say, “Thanks!”
